On some of the hay meadows in The Timber Reserve, muskrats have made numerous “houses” giving the appearance of haycocks, and the rats have a fine time coming out and chasing the wild ducks. The latter are becoming more numerous again, largely through the efforts of "Ducks 'Unlimited," but for sev­ eral years we missed seeing many of them flying about and hearing them quacking over pools.

Jumping deer are becoming so numerous that tney ate destroying crops. One farmer who lives next to the Reserve had one quarter of his wheat and barley destroyed by these animals ti)is year, Three years ago we counted 23 of them on a field of brome grass about 40 rods away. They were having a Ipvely time and we, thoughtless of the harm they were doifig, enjoyed watching them, but a whistle set them all bounding, away into the npar-by bush. They are very shy as well as graceful. Crops were not nearly as good as usual, though there were some goop yields in the more favored areas. There is everywhere in town or village a demand for houses, es­ pecially small ones, but little build­ ing-could be done, as lumber was unseasoned.

Recently I .got a verv nice letter from a woman in London, England, telling how grateful she was for a quilt from the Red Cross after being bombed out. I had forgotten the fact that I had ^pinned my name and address on it, but was very pleased to know that my work was so much appreciated, and that it had not gone down to Davy Jones’ Locker. We in Canada are blessed with peace and plenty and for years to come our help will be needed for those who have lost and suffered so much, and should be freely given out of our abundance. We hear and read of Ontario’s poor fruit crop. We imagine what it must mean to-1 those good people to have no apples in their cellars.

Just as tea biscuit dough lends itself to all sorts of good hot breads by simple variations, so muffin batter may be used as a foundation for a wide variety of not-too-sweet cup cakes. * Muffins are made from a softer mixture than tea biscuits. Muffin dough is not stiff enough to stand alone, so it is baked in individual muffin pans. Ybu can also cook muffins in glass baking cups. The important point in making muffins is not 'to stir them too much. Mix the liquids into the dry ingre­ dient just enough to moisten them. If you mix muffins too much they will be tough and coarse-grained and have tunnels inside and peaks or knobs on the outside. Excessive stirring overdevelops the elastic quality of the gluten in flour. With the standard recipe as a foundation you can make many dif­ ferent kinds of muffins, raisin or currant, peach, spice and so on. When you have a bit of jelly or jam left, make jam muffins. As soon as the muffins are partly cooked, put a teaspoon of jam or jelly in the centre remove ‘pan from quickly.
